Louisa Krause (“Martha Marcy May Marlene”), Reynaldo Gallegos (“Sons of Anarcy”), Christopher Matthew Cook and Omar J. Dorsey (“Selma”) also star. The film is currently in post-production and Arclight Films is showing footage to distributors for the first time at the EFM in Berlin.

“Dog Eat Dog” is based on the book of the same name by Eddie Bunker. Matt Wilder and Schrader adapted the script about a trio of ex-cons, deep in the underbelly of Los Angeles, who are hired for a kidnapping. When the botched abduction goes awry and gets completely out of control, the cons find themselves on the run.

“’Dog Eat Dog’ has all the elements of a global commercial hit and we’re thrilled to be drumming up sales at the start of EFM,” said Gary Hamilton, managing director of Arclight Films and an executive producer on the project.

Burman said, “Our cast brought their A-game and at the end of the day, we have a fantastic product – a suspenseful, dark and gritty, yet sardonically humorous film that will keep global audiences on the edge of their seats.”
